Overview

Mizutani Isao was commissioned to create the stage desgin for Hijikata Tatsumi's first recital in 1960, to which he responded with originality and ingenuity, and having earned Hijikata's trust became close friends with him. Mizutani, a painter and kiln builder, based this butoh piece on the Creation story, set at a climbing kiln, which is also a site of national heritage in Seto, Aichi. It was performed by Tamano Koichi, a butoh dancer and former pupil of Hijikata based in San Fransisco. The work was presented in memory of Hijikata Tatsumi.
